So I just finished this game and I decided I would write my own little review to tell you all my thoughts on the game. However I would like to say that it is strictly my opinon more than anything. So take some parts with a pinch of salt.

So I'll start with the negative because well why not. The begining island is really not fun at all mainly because hey guess what? It's pratically all swamp. This hinders how quick you get around the map which in honesty when you look isn't a very big map.

Secondly I was a little frustrated by dead zones and how easily accesible they are. Some of the rarer items you need within the games are found in dead zones but what frustrates me is how they are in SET dead zones and if they are there once it will be again. I found myself going in the dead zones clearing , looting and exiting then rinse repeat. I understand it limits the frustration on trying to find items but still it made it way to easy. I also really disliked that some items that were meant to be common became incredibly rare. For one quest I needed 7 clamps and it took me towards the end of the first part of the island before I got them all. Now I would understand if I was the kind of gamer who rushes through but I search EVERYTHING and do all the side quests before main ones. I even set out a few times to search for set items but had no look finding them. One quest I failed because of this and because there is no manual saving well I couldn't undo it.

One issue I had with a lot of the side quests mainly was the fact that some were just so similar. There are a few note worthy ones but a lot were just Rescue so and so. That is nothing new from the first one but the amount there are espically in the city is ridiclous.

Another problem I feel was that the enemies were way to strong. I like a challenge in a game don't get me wrong but when a walker becomes a massive threat that is a problem. I finished the game at roughly level 60 and the walkers for a while had been taking a quater of my health every hit. This was really frustrating because suddenly a group of four walkers suddenly becomes a big threat. Even the infected who's job is to catch you by surprise and stun you a little were doing a lot of damage. Now again this could be easily changed by turning the difficulty down I understand that but on medium it seems extreme.

Now the positive!

I really liked the story and some of the elements that were added. It pretty much picks up off where the previous game left off and it also has an interesting ending. I also really liked the fact that the crafting was quite simple and modifications were now more easily accessed due to many of them being quest rewards. I mean the amount of mods you find it can be quite difficult to select which one to use. I used Xian which meant I focused around using blade weapons but I could have two different poisons, fire, eletric and even some area of affects. This was certainly a step up from the first one.

I also liked the amount of weapons that you could use. There are new weapons for each catogrey and there are different kinds of projectiles to throw. There are also the introduction of mines! Which are really fun to use but also incredibly helpful. Another part which I really enjoyed was some of the new quests some coming from the main story line. I won't say which ones or where but they required quite a bit of planning.

There are some new mobs to fight which some that seem to require similar tactics as the previous zombies. Now a few are more deadly than others but I often found myself trying to avoid fighting certain mobs (Again I won't list which) because of the risks. I also like the mini bosses that can be found throughout the island either through exploration, quests or dead zones. They also offer a challenge because generally unlike their normal counterparts they are immune to certain things.

I will say despite the map been a problem to get around and navigate there is some very beautiful scenery. A lot being from the first part of the island I found myself stopping at times and admiring it for a few seconds (When I was being munched by hordes of zombies or trying to kill them).

The sequel also works with interacting with your team members by doing quests for them which have benefits such as more merchandise and/or better equipment. I really liked this because it does give incentive to actually do them as well as getting the mods. There are quite a few side quests that are interesting and some offer insight to those who you do them for and make them worth doing.

Overall I would reccomend this game if you can have patience and take the time to enjoy the game.

My personal score for the game? 7.5/10
